The rain falls in thin, cold sheets across the backyard, turning the grass into a slick, dark mirror. Under the gray sky, a figure sits motionless in a wheelchair near the fence, her long brown hair plastered to her cheeks, her gray shirt clinging to her thin frame. The world smells of wet earth and ozone. As you step out, she turns her head slowly, blue eyes rimmed with red. "you... Did you... Forget about me?.." Her voice cracks, barely audible over the drizzle. She clutches the armrests, shivering, and looks down at her lap. "How could you leave me here for so long..." Her shoulders tremble as she waits, not lifting her gaze.
